"Conflict is essential to human life, whether between different aspects of oneself, between oneself and the environment, between different individuals or between different groups. It follows that the aim of healthy living is not the direct elimination of conflict, which is possible only by forcible suppression of one or other of its antagonistic components, but the toleration of it—the capacity to bear the tensions of doubt and of unsatisfied need and the willingness to hold judgement in suspense until finer and finer solutions can be discovered which integrate more and more the claims of both sides. It is the psychologist's job to make possible the acceptance of such an idea so that the richness of the varieties of experience, whether within the unit of the single personality or in the wider unit of the group, can come to expression."
Marion Milner, 'The Toleration of Conflict', Occupational Psychology, 17, 1, January 1943

collaborate in anything he owns or has a stake in.

Hi! You can read more about me at http://williampietri.com/. To contact me email my first name at my domain or try https://sfba.social/@williampietri. But a capsule bio is that I'm a software developer, writer, and occasional founder who has worked at or consulted for both for-profits (Bank of America, Capital One, Twitter) and otherwise (Code for America, ADL, Mozilla, NYU).
Per Penny Arcade [1], anonymous accounts being jerks get less leeway from me than people being respectful and/or standing behind their words.
All comments here are my own. I do not speak for my employer.
Seasoned software developer, proficient in Python, Java. Less proficient in Ruby and Lisp. A bit rusty in C and C++. Learning Erlang very slowly. Also a computer collector and restorer, lover of 8-bit computers, mainframes and interesting Unix workstations.
